Because they were still on the street, Reinitz didn't answer.
He smiled and pointed to the restaurant not far away. "That's a very good Russian steakhouse. You can eat steak, and Cereus and I can try the authentic Russian food there."
Huo Shaoheng nodded and narrowed his eyes.
The steakhouse looked like a castle. It had red walls and black tiles. The glass windows were like those of a church, and there were colored paintings on them.
It was even more impressive when they walked in. It was decorated with gold and jade, just like the Kremlin.
Gu Nianzhi's expression was a little subtle. She glanced at Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng followed Reinitz inside without batting an eyelid.
A handsome Russian waiter in a white shirt, black trousers, and a small bow tie walked over to greet them.
Reinitz said in fluent Russian, "Give us a private room with a large window." As he spoke, he stuffed a tip into the waiter's hand.
"This way, please." The waiter greeted them warmly and brought them to the best private room in the restaurant.
Because it wasn't noon yet, there weren't many people there, so no one in the restaurant objected when the waiter gave them the best private room.
As they walked towards the private room, Gu Nianzhi was looking at her phone as she walked. She was chatting with Qiqi, so she was at the back.
At that moment, a familiar-looking leopard-print girl walked past her and joked with the person at the front desk before swaggering away in her high heels.
It was the "girlfriend" of the president they had met in the Kremlin yesterday..
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help asking the waiter, "… Who is that? Is she familiar with you guys? "
The waiter answered her in English, "That's our boss. This steakhouse is hers. She has many branches all over the country."
Gu Nianzhi suddenly understood.
No wonder the decor here was comparable to the Kremlin. She was the future empress..
Gu Nianzhi smiled and winked at the waiter before walking into the private room.
After sitting down, Gu Nianzhi picked up the menu and looked at it. She immediately smiled.
Reinitz really knew how to pick a restaurant.
Although this steakhouse was famous for its steaks and beef burgers, it also served a variety of Russian dishes and had a lot of seafood to choose from!
"What kind of seafood is delicious here?" Gu Nianzhi asked the waiter.
The waiter smiled and introduced to her, "We have new king crabs from the Bering Strait. The meat is delicious and fat, and the taste is excellent. Miss, do you want one? "
"King crab? What a grand name. Alright, give me one. " Gu Nianzhi then asked Huo Shaoheng and Reinitz, "Do you guys want a king crab each to try?"
Before Huo Shaoheng and Reinitz could speak, the corners of the waiter's mouth twitched a few times. He reminded Gu Nianzhi, "Miss, the king crabs we have here are very big. One of them weighs about five kilograms. One king crab is enough for the three of you. "
Gu Nianzhi almost shivered with joy.
Good heavens, I will definitely be able to eat a crab that weighs ten kilograms today!
Gu Nianzhi didn't order the king crab after ordering it.
Reinitz gestured for Huo Shaoheng to continue ordering.
Huo Shaoheng picked up the menu and looked at it. Seeing that Gu Nianzhi had already ordered the steamed king crab, Huo Shaoheng casually ordered a medium-rare steak and a bottle of 1982 Lafite red wine.
Reinitz said, "Drink the Lafite and have some boiled shrimp. It's made with mantis shrimp. The mantis shrimp here are said to be wild, not farmed. "
Mantis shrimp, also known as shrimp crawlers, was a creature that lived in the deep sea and had very delicious meat.
Boiled shrimp with red wine. Yes, the food of a Gestapo priest was indeed extraordinary.
After the dishes were ordered, the waiter brought them some cheese pastries and lettuce salad to warm up with the appetizers of the main course.
When the dishes were served, Huo Shaoheng asked Reinitz again, "What do you want to say? How much do others know about what Li Dexi and you know? "
Huo Shaoheng's question was very subtle, but Reinitz and Gu Nianzhi both understood.
Reinitz leaned back in his chair, his expression as cold as ice. His words were even colder than ice shards.
"Li Dexi knows something that even I don't know." He looked at Gu Nianzhi meaningfully. "But I believe that if even I don't know, no one else will be able to talk about it."
It was similar to what Huo Shaoheng had guessed, but this didn't solve his confusion. Instead, his heart sank.
Li Dexi coveted Gu Nianzhi, which could be seen from the fact that he personally led people to Cape Town to set up a trap.
But why?
Could it be that Li Dexi knew about Gu Nianzhi's special constitution because of her genetic advantage?
But Gu Nianzhi's grandfather, Gu Haoze, had clearly stated in the letter that the Yamato scientists' experiments had all failed. He wasn't a product of success, but a product of failure …
Or did he misunderstand, and Gu Haoze was just being modest?
But when he thought of that touching and passionate letter, Huo Shaoheng rejected this idea.
He believed that Gu Haoze wouldn't have had the energy to be polite at that time.
What he said must have been the truth.
So the genes of the Gu family probably hadn't improved.
Huo Shaoheng remembered why Gu Yanran and her mother, Gu Jing, had been adopted. It was to treat Gu Nianzhi's aunt, Gu Tian …
Gu Nianzhi's illness occurred after giving birth. The genetic defect finally broke out, causing a complete loss of immunity. She died not long after giving birth.
So Gu Nianzhi was also likely to have a genetic defect in this area.
But it hadn't shown yet.
Huo Shaoheng's eyes narrowed, and his expression became more serious. He said in a low voice, "I think you should know about Li Dexi. In fact, it wasn't just you. The Russian KGB and our Special Operations Forces all received the news. "
Reinitz smiled. "Major General Huo, there's no need to hide it from me at this time. As I said, I'm no longer a staff member of the Federal Intelligence Agency. I'm only temporarily replacing Mr. Li Dexi to do some administrative work. And … "
Reinitz glanced at Gu Nianzhi. "If I wanted to tell you, I would have done so a long time ago."
Huo Shaoheng thought about it for a few seconds and felt that Reinitz could still be trusted.
He didn't beat around the bush and said, "Li Dexi really died at the hands of a woman. That woman perished together with him. "
Reinitz was a little surprised. "… It wasn't you?"
He had always thought that if there was anyone in the world who could deal with Li Dexi, it could only be Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng shook his head.
Gu Nianzhi also shook her head. She said unhappily, "Reinitz, do you look down on women or something? Can't Li Dexi die at the hands of a woman? What's more, she also died with him. "
Thinking of Bai Shuang, Gu Nianzhi's eyes turned red.
Reinitz looked at her for a moment, then handed her a tissue and said, "Okay, I believe you. But Li Dexi isn't interested in women at all … "
"It's not his woman. It's the woman he's trying to rope in," Huo Shaoheng said calmly. "To be precise, it's the person he wants to instigate."
Reinitz suddenly realized. "So he failed to instigate a rebellion and fell into a trap."
Then he gave Huo Shaoheng a thumbs up. "It seems that my speculation was correct. Li Dexi can only be defeated by you."
He thought it was a trap set by Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng smiled and didn't explain.
Anyway, Li Dexi was dead, so it wasn't a bad thing to make these Gestapo afraid.
He would take some of the credit for the time being.
But Bai Shuang really wasn't a trap set by him.
"Li Dexi died very quickly. He was shot in the carotid artery." Huo Shaoheng gestured. "Is there anything else you want to ask?"
"No, that's enough." Reinitz raised his glass of red wine. "My feelings for him are very complicated. He was originally my godfather, but after learning about their previous plan, I couldn't face them anymore."
"… Reinitz, you became a priest to escape?" Gu Nianzhi asked curiously. "But you're not that kind of person!"
"I'm that kind of person." Reinitz lowered his eyes. "I don't want to be caught between the country and you anymore. I don't want to please both sides."
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
Huo Shaoheng also didn't say anything.
The three of them were quiet for a while. The waiter at the door of the private room knocked on the door, then came in with a dining cart.
In the middle of the room was a large silver hemispherical plate with a lid. Inside was the ten-pound king crab!
Gu Nianzhi's attention was immediately attracted by the king crab.
As soon as it was placed on the table and the hemispherical lid was lifted, Gu Nianzhi immediately took out her phone and took photos of the king crab from various angles.
Then she immediately posted it on her WeChat friend circle with the caption, "This is the first time I've eaten king crab from the Bering Strait. I hope it's really delicious!"
The KGB driver was the first to like it and commented, "This is very delicious, but it's so expensive!"
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
Not long after, the second-in-command of the KGB, Vladimir, became the second person to like it and commented, "Previous post + 1!"
Gu Nianzhi, "!!!"
Soon after, Ma Qiqi also liked it and shouted, "It's so fresh, I want to eat it!"
Yin Shixiong followed up, "Brother Xiong will take you to eat king crab and fly ~ ~ ~"
Gu Nianzhi replied with a string of ellipses expressionlessly …
Just as she posted on her WeChat friend circle, the waiter had already served all the dishes and left.
Only the three of them and a table full of seafood, steak, and borscht were left in the private room.
Huo Shaoheng picked up his knife and fork and asked Reinitz as he cut the steak, "I told you everything about Li Dexi. Are you going to tell me about Nianzhi now?"
